E14.- How to Save the Planet from Plastic Waste

How to Save the Planet from Plastic Waste:

In this episode, we talked about how to cut down on packaging waste and protect our planet. We learned that plastic waste is a huge problem that affects our environment and health and that only a small fraction of it gets recycled. We shared four easy ways to tackle this problem: avoiding unnecessary packaging, using innovative alternatives, refilling containers, and shopping mindfully. Some examples of these solutions are supermarkets and grocery stores that are ditching plastic bags and wraps, companies like Carlsberg and ICA Gruppen that are designing more innovative packaging, and services like Loop that offer reusable containers.

We also encouraged you to be more conscious when you shop, choose products with less or recyclable packaging, and use reusable items whenever possible. Other ways to reduce waste are donating, selling, and composting things you don't need or use. 

We hope you enjoyed this episode and learned something new.
